Studies
- ARISE study (Assessment of Rheumatic Heart Disease in India School Children by Echocardiography): population examined – 15,000 school children. It is a community based study in which performed Echocardiographies of all school going children (irrespective of symptomatic status) to see the prevalence of RF/RHD as well as congenital heart diseasesseveral villages. It is an ambitious and largest community based echo study in world of this type. Being an important member of the team of this project performed about 8000 echocardiograms
- Pattern of Coronary Calcification, Signal Loss on MRI and Lesion on Conventional Coronary Angiograms were compared in collaboration with department of nuclear medicine. Being the principle investigator, presented this data in an international conference ICCAD at Florence ITALY in 2003
- Prevalence and Pattern of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in patients with CAD. This is prospective study, in which we do Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) of all patients scheduled for Coronary Angiograms irrespective of symptoms suggestive of PAD. Those with abnormal ABI undergo Peripheral Angio along with coronary angiograms
- Completed a study aimed to see prevalence of PAD in a symptomatic executives. Performed ABI of all executives came for routine comprehensive cardiac check-up and those with abnormal ABI were followed by peripheral arterial Doppler and if that is also abnormal, with peripheral angiogram. This is in process of compilation.
